      Hola Janis!              El Jueves 21 Octubre 2010 a las 00:54, Janis Kracht escribió a Enric Lleal       Serra:               JK> Think I'll do that tonight in case that's the problem.. my        JK> /etc/services file doesn't mention "passive", so that must be the        JK> problem here.              Nonono... I don't think that... :-) You're configuration is ok if your clients       are using active ftp connections to your BBBS system. But actually, all the       current ftp/http clients are using passive connections by default. Then, your       BBBS responses are in passive mode (without use of ports 20 and 21) but your       firewall/router don't forward the needed ports (1025 and above (unused)).              As BBBS can't configure a port range for that, I must set all unused ports for       forwarding the passive responses from BBBS' ftp to router/fw and back.                      JK> Glad it worked for you :)              You can do it. I'm sure. ;-)              -       A reveure!!       Enric       _____________________________________________________________________        FidoNet: 2:343/107.1 | beholderbbs.org | fidonet.cat | fidonet.ws        InterNet: kishpa(at)kishpa(dot)com | kishpa.com | GPG#0xDCCB8CFC              ...
